Definitions

  • the present invention relates to modifying and displaying an image on a display, in particular in the field of video conferencing and telepresence systems.
  • Videoconferencing systems comprise a number of end-points communicating real-time video, audio and/or data (often referred to as duo video) streams over and between various networks such as WAN, LAN and circuit switched networks.
  • a number of videoconference systems residing at different sites may participate in the same conference, most often, through one or more MCU's (Multipoint Control Unit) performing i.a. switching and mixing functions to allow the audiovisual terminals to intercommunicate properly.
  • MCU's Multipoint Control Unit
  • Video conferencing systems presently provide communication between at least two locations for allowing a video conference among participants situated at each station.
  • the video conferencing arrangements are provided with one or more cameras.
  • the outputs of those cameras are transmitted along with audio signals to a corresponding plurality of displays at a second location such that the participants at the first location are perceived to be present or face-to-face with participants at the second location.
  • Telepresence systems are enhanced video conference systems with a number of large scaled displays for life-sized video, often installed in rooms with interior dedicated and tailored for video conferencing, all to create a conference as close to personal meetings as possible.
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic view illustrating prior art aspects of telepresence videoconferencing.
  • a display device 160 of a videoconferencing device is arranged in front of a plurality of (four illustrated) local conference participants.
  • the local participants are located along a table, facing the display device 160 which includes a plurality of display screens.
  • four display screens are included in the display device 160.
  • a first 100, a second 110 and a third 120 display screens are arranged adjacent to each other.
  • the first 100, second 110 and third 120 display screens are used for displaying images captured at one or more remote conference sites.
  • a fourth display screen is arranged at a central position below the second display screen 110. In a typical use, the fourth screen may be used for computer- generated presentations or other secondary conference information.
  • Video cameras such as the video camera 130 are arranged on top of the display screens in order to capture images of the local participants, which are transmitted to corresponding remote video conference sites.
  • a purpose of the setup shown in fig. 1 is to give the local participants a feeling of actually being present in the same meeting-room as the remote participants that are shown on the respective display screens 100, 110, 120.
  • the width of the display device 160 may be approximately 3 meters or more.
  • the distance between the local participants and the opposing display units may typically be in the order of approximately 2 meters. This means that when the leftmost 150 local participant is looking at a participant on the rightmost, third display screen 120, his or her observation angle ⁇ (angle of view with respect to a direction perpendicular to the display screen 120) will become quite large.
  • a complete two dimensional rendering of a three dimensional object can at best be observed with correct proportions from one specific viewing angle.
  • this viewing angle is traditionally designed to be 0°, or directly in front of and centered on the screen.
  • observers located at angles more than 0° from a line perpendicular to the screen images will appear distorted, with objects looking taller and thinner/more narrow than they actually are.
  • the invention provides a method, a set of processing instructions and a device as set forth in the appended claims.
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic view illustrating prior art aspects of telepresence videoconferencing
  • Fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart illustrating the principles of a method for displaying an image on a display
  • Fig. 3 is a schematic block diagram illustrating the principles of a video conferencing device implementing the invention
  • Fig. 4 is a schematic block diagram illustrating principles of the result of the invention.
  • Fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart illustrating the principles of a method for displaying an image on a display.
  • the method starts at the initiating step 200.
  • a primary image is provided in the image providing step 210.
  • This step may e.g. include reading a video signal which originates from a remote conference site, from appropriate circuitry such as a codec included in a video conference endpoint.
  • the observation angle is provided as a predetermined angle value, e.g. it may be read from a memory, register, a file or another suitable storage space.
  • the observation angle is provided by determining the value of an angle between a viewer direction, i.e. the direction between the viewer's position and a point of the display, and a display direction, i.e. the direction perpendicular to the display, specifically the front of the display.
  • the observation angle may be determined by analyzing an image captured by a camera, e.g. a video camera, arranged e.g. on top of the display.
  • the camera may be a camera that is also used for videoconferencing purposes in a videoconferencing arrangement.
  • the angle may be determined e.g. by detecting if a viewer is present in one or more predetermined horizontal portions of the camera image, and set approximate values for the observation angle accordingly.
  • one or more sensors e. g. optical sensors
  • the observation angle is set accordingly.
  • the value of the observation angle should be considered as positive or zero. More specifically, for practical purposes the angle will always be between 0 and 90 degrees.
  • the display may have a flat or substantially flat front surface, and the front surface of the display may be vertical or substantially vertical.
  • the display may alternatively be arranged differently, e.g. tilted downwards or upwards, still in accordance with the principles of the invention.
  • the viewer direction may be the direction between the viewer's position and a central point of the display, such as the midpoint of the display.
  • the viewer direction may be the direction between the viewer's position and another point within the display area.
  • the viewer's position may be understood to be the viewing position of the viewer, i.e. the position or the approximate position of the viewer's eyes.
  • the observation angle is in a horizontal plane. If the viewer direction and/or the display direction are not horizontal, their projections onto a horizontal plane may be used for determining an approximation to the observation angle in a horizontal plane, and this approximation may be used as the observation angle.
  • the primary image is modified as a function of the observation angle. This results in a modified image.
  • the modifying step comprises a horizontal scaling of the primary image.
  • the horizontal scaling may comprise horizontally extending the primary image, using an extension factor.
  • the extension factor should be larger for higher observation angles than for smaller observation angles.
  • the extension factor is substantially in inverse proportion to a cosine function of the observation angle. More specifically, the extension factor may be inverse proportional to the cosine function of the observation angle. Even more specifically, the extension factor may be the cosine function of the observation angle.
  • a scaling in another direction such as vertical, diagonal or slanting scaling, could be performed as part of the image modifying step 230.
  • the modifying step may additionally include cutting, removing or ignoring remaining side areas of the image.
  • the primary image is transformed into the modified image in such a way as to compensate for distortion caused by the viewer's actual position, which diverges from a position right in front of the display.
  • the modified image is displayed on the display.
  • the display is of a type which is arranged for displaying a plurality of different images in different viewing directions.
  • a display may either be an integrated multi-view display or a multi-view projection screen which is illuminated by a plurality of projectors. Both the above classes of displays, in the following called “multi-view displays", will be described in closer detail with reference to fig. 3 below.
  • the modified image is displayed in one of the plurality of available viewing directions.
  • the primary image i.e. the unmodified image, may be displayed in another of the plurality of viewing directions.
  • the multi-view display provides two viewing directions.
  • the multi-view display provides three viewing directions, and the multi-view display is enabled to display different images, represented by separate input signals, in the three directions.
  • the multi-view display may provide four or more viewing directions.
  • the viewing directions may include a primary viewing direction, corresponding to a small (or zero) observation angle, and a secondary viewing direction, corresponding to an observation angle substantially different from zero.
  • the small observation angle may e.g. be less than 45 degrees, or less than 30 degrees, or less than 20 degrees.
  • the observation angle which is substantially different from zero may e.g. be between 45 and 90 degrees, or between 55 and 75 degrees.
  • an "image” has been used as a general expression for the content to be displayed on the display. It should be understood that both the primary image and the modified image may be included in video signals. This means that the term "image”, as used in the present specification, should be understood as covering both still images and moving images/video images, and that the image is usually represented by an electronic signal, which may be a digital or an analog signal, or a composition/combination of more than one signal.
  • the signal representing the image may be a video signal received from a remote video conference device, transferred via at least one communication network and possibly at least one Multipoint Control Units.
  • the method as described in the present detailed description may be performed by a processing device included in a video conferencing device.
  • the method may be implemented as a set of processing instructions or computer program instructions, which may be tangibly stored in a memory, on a medium, or on a propagated signal.
  • the set of processing instructions is configured so as to cause an appropriate device, in particular a video conferencing device, to perform the described method when the instructions are executed by a processing device included in the device.
  • Fig. 3 is a schematic block diagram illustrating a video conferencing device 300, in particular a telepresence video conference endpoint, which is configured to operate in accordance with the method described above.
  • the video conferencing device 300 comprises a processing device 320, a memory 330, a display adapter 310, all interconnected via an internal bus 340, and a display device 160.
  • the display device may include a set of display screens, such as three adjacent display screens.
  • the illustrated elements of the video conferencing device 300 are shown for the purpose of explaining principles of the invention. Thus, it will be understood that additional elements may be included in an actual implementation of a video conferencing device. At least one of the display screens may be a multi-view display screen. In an aspect, the two outermost display screens (the left display screen and the right display screen) may be multi-view display screens. In another aspect, all the three adjacent displays are multi-view display screens.
  • a fourth display screen has been illustrated as being arranged below the middle display screen in the display device 160. The fourth display screen may be a regular display screen or a multi-view display screen.
  • the memory 330 comprises processing instructions which enable the video conferencing device to perform appropriate, regular video conferencing functions and operations.
  • the memory 330 comprises a set of processing instructions as described above with reference to the method illustrated in fig. 2, resulting in that the processing device 320 causes the video conferencing device 300 to perform the presently disclosed method for displaying an image when the processing instructions are executed by the processing device 320.
  • the display may either be an integrated multi- view display or a multi-view projection screen which is illuminated by a plurality of projectors.
  • Other types of multi-view displays may also be appropriately used, provided that the display is enabled for displaying two or more different images in different viewing directions.
  • An integrated multi-view display may e.g. be an LCD screen using any of a number of proprietary technologies, such as a parallax barrier superimposed on an ordinary TFT LCD.
  • the LCD sends the light from the backlight into right and left directions, making it possible to show different information and visual content on the same screen at the same time depending on the viewing angle. Controlling the viewing angle in this way allows the information or visual content to be tailored to multiple users viewing the same screen.
  • This kind of LCDs are commercially available, and are conventionally used for e.g. in vehicles, for showing a map on the driver side, while the passenger side shows a movie on DVD or as an advertisement monitor, where a passerby who comes from right direction can see one advertisement, and a passerby who comes from left direction can see another advertisement.
  • Examples of integrated multi-view display technology that may be useful for implementing certain parts of embodiments of the present invention have been described in US-2007/0035565, US-6 954 185, and US-2008/0001847.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur un procédé d'affichage d'une image sur un dispositif d'affichage, en particulier dans un système de visioconférence, comprenant les étapes suivantes : fourniture d'une image primaire ; fourniture d'un angle d'observation d'un observateur par rapport audit dispositif d'affichage ; modification de l'image primaire en fonction dudit angle d'observation, donnant une image modifiée ; et affichage de ladite image modifiée sur ledit dispositif d'affichage. La modification de l'image peut comprendre une mise à l'échelle horizontale de l'image primaire, en particulier un allongement de l'image primaire par un facteur d'allongement qui est plus grand pour de plus grands angles d'observation que pour de plus petits angles d'observation, par exemple en proportion inverse d'une fonction cosinus de l'angle d'observation. Si un dispositif d'affichage à vues multiples est utilisé, l'image primaire et l'image modifiée peuvent être affichées dans des directions différentes, c'est-à-dire présentées à des observateurs ayant des angles de visualisation différents par rapport au dispositif d'affichage.
